Whom should the world fear: The stock market bandits or the 'Terrorists'?

This is the naked picture of capitalism which teaches if your client/customer is an idiot, it is OK to swindle him by hook or crook. You will find this trait in almost everyone who trades in stock market or works for ANY investment company on in corporations which think their first duty is to pay as much as possible to shareholders (of course, after the senior most executives and directors take their cut). As with any criminal / immoral activity, it all starts in a very small scale and as one gets used to the poison it devours the whole system. In the 17th century there were 2 such collapses, 18th - 7, 19th - 13 and in 20th - 17. In the 21st century there have been so far 5 in these 14 years and at this rate there will be about 35 more in this century! Are we going to learn anything from this? Absolutely not. We have not learnt anything from the havoc created from wars and keep on spending colossal sums on weaponry; we have legalized gambling as though if it is legal, it should be right! (That is another way we look at things: NOT as long as it is legal, it is OK. We think: As long as I am not caught or my lawyer can get me out or my corporation can plead guilty, pay the fine and I can go Scott-free, everything is fine. We have 'great movies' praised by one and all and fetching millions of profit to the producers and actors, telling in detail how a big crime in real life was committed, how some immoral women ruled over some other men, We read avidly how a 'great' criminal lawyer saved someone from hanging, though he had killed someone in broad day light before a crowd of onlookers by proving through world famous doctors that his client was 'momentarily insane' at the time he committed the crime! I can go on and on or you can read the headlines in CNN, MSNBC, etc. every day. Let's not lose our sleep because some misguided people called "terrorists" kill some more. Under the moral code of present day - You can make millions of poor in Argentina, by pushing that nation legally to hell, as 'great' nations who fought 'greater wars' with their huge armies against hardly armed people in far off countries. Finally those illiterate, poor, sick (mentally and physically) people left with nothing but their religion and the sophisticated arms supplied to them by big powers for their political games. If they kill a few hundred what is the problem? It is not 'legal' for them yet for those people to do what we had done, many a time in wrecking calamity on hundreds of thousands all over the world? Jesus Christ said: "O God, please pardon them because they know not what they are doing." He did not say this to those people; it was intended for us.
